| As a tourist from Canada, I have visited NYC twice now and booked the schooner sail with friends both times. It is the best value for the dollar, an overall tour of Manhattan and surrounding points of interest, and SO relaxing. The first time, I was worried about motion sickness, but the sail was relaxing and smooth. The crew are friendly and experienced and answer any questions about the sights you might have. After 2 hours of soaking in the sun and sights and floating around the river with complimentary beer or soda, we got off the schooner feeling refreshed and relaxed. We felt as if we had been at the spa for a massage!! I'll definitely be back!!! |

| There were excellent views of the statue of liberty and a couple of bridges which i thought we were going closer too, but just turned back. For 40$, it was a great trip i reccomend it, captain was nice, so were the drinks =) |

| Sailing today was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed the boat, the sights and the fine attentive crew! I recommend this journey to local New Yorkers as well as tourists just kicking back and enjoying the ride. I was pleasantly surprised at how much actual sailing we did and how short a time the motor was used. |

| I would come again as this cruise was so enjoyable. The staff and captain were very accommodating.
The ship was well designed and even when we heeled, the guests remained comfortable.
The crew engaged with the guests and were informative of the points of interest.
Advertising in NYTimes, The New Yorker, WSJ with photo of the Schooner that was so inviting, should generate sales [SAILS!]
Thank you for such a pleasant afternoon.

| Recently entertaining a guest from Canada, I wanted to show a gentler side of NYC. This experience was quiet, exciting, unique & economical. Our captain & crew represented the best of the city...well-mannered, helpful & hospitable. |

Very relaxing getaway from the city

| The weather was bad, we were in the Majestic, it was a cloudy day and some light rain fell on us. I still very much enjoyed feeling like i was so far from all the chaos of the city. It was a nice getaway, very romantic. Only problems I would say were that my girlfriend said she couldn't relax since the boat can tilt to one side pretty good, and not really any railing to hold on to if your sitting towars the center of the boat like us. Some recommendations would be some kind of spaced out compartments where you can put your bags or personals, and also some kind of railing on the middle area so maybe you can sit and have your legs through the railing, if that makes sense. It would make the trip much more relaxing if you are not able to get a seat in the front part of the boat. Overrall I enjoyed it, my girlfriend if just a little scaredy cat, hah. |

| Needs more commentary from the crew. A few historical notes/pointers are badly needed. |

| Perfect in every way. Even though the weather wasn't great - the sailing experience was. The crew was friendly and courteous and it was great from start to finish. I've already recommended it to friends who will be taking it later this month. |

| We have grown kids that live in NYC so we're always looking for diversions to get us off our feet for a little bit when we visit. The schooner trip was perfect. Lovely day for a sail. We only wished that there was more sailing and less motoring, but I guess that was the wind and time factor. Also, it would be nice if there was a little narration about what we were passing on shore. The crew was great at relating facts if you asked, but you don't want to be a pest. The mates were very attentive, always there with a beer or water. I'm not a beer drinker, so a little champagne or white wine alternative would have been really nice. I would certainly recommend the trip to anyone. Enjoyed seeing the waterfalls. |
